# Email

The Email input block allows you to ask your user for an email. It will check if it is properly formatted.

<FlowToBot
  flow={
    <img
      src="/img/blocks/inputs/email-flow.png"
      width="100%"
      style={{ maxWidth: '500px' }}
      alt="Email input in flow"
    />
  }
  bot={
    <img
      src="/img/blocks/inputs/email-bot.png"
      width="100%"
      style={{ maxWidth: '300px' }}
      alt="Email input in bot"
    />
  }
/>

The retry message will be displayed whenever Bytedesk detected that the email is not properly formatted.

It won't check if the email address is **valid**. To do that, you will have to trigger a [Webhook block](/editor/blocks/integrations/webhook) and call an email validation service API.
